I totally agree with your whole post on this.Do I think its the end of the world? NO. Am I stopping living my life? NO. Am I taking extra precautions like wearing a mask? YES
The news mentioned the possibly reason of those twisted folks are lead to his home because of his gun collection posted on social media site which is mostly a public domain sites that can be viewable by the same twisted folks knowing he have something worth stealing and hope they are a better shot than him when they show up with loaded gun ready to shoot.I dont know about "asking for it" but yes in today's twisted society with so many twisted F%@ks that seem to think everything they want should be free or they'll steal it and that that's acceptable, you're right.
No but the cylinder might not turn on occasion LOLI never worry about a jam, wheel guns don't jam.
..and you only have 6 shots and slow reload times. One of the leading youtube gun channels recently did a video about this. In a recent defence situation a store clerk shot an intruder 16 times. Was found reasonable force by the local Court in the circumstances of the crime. Video is up on youtube. However, one thing of relevence is that shootings are not like on tv. Often they involve large numbers of shots not least of which because handguns lack stopping power esepcially the defacto calibre of 9mm. Factor in that at any kind of standoff range, the FBI hit rate in actual gun fights despite being some of the most highly trained profesionals is only 20% ie 80% miss rate under stress, then the need for a 15 or 16 shot capacity handgun becomes apparent and that means semi-auto. These days it's a brave man that takes a revolver to a gun fight. Then again it's better than the UK where you can only take a telephone.No but the cylinder might not turn on occasion LOL
I competed in defensive handgun competitions for years. Was an IDPA Safety Officer, designed matches/scenarios, worked regional and State competitions. I am currently an NRA certified RSO and volunteer RSO at my local gun club here in Houston. I have seen lots of folks fire all different kinds of guns.No but the cylinder might not turn on occasion LOL
A friend of mine used to do a toss of moon-clipped rounds into his revolver so fast that one SO did not think he actually reloaded.Speed loaders make it so easy to do
I used to hold NRA trainer certs in rifle, pistol and shotgun as well a junior trainer certs. I've done a lot of handgun shooting. I can still get 18 rounds off, into the X at 30 feet, in 10 seconds with a .357 without much of a problem. Speed loaders make it so easy to do. Problem is Speed loaders are built to fit each specific gun.
